However, the supplementary food supplied at Anganwadi centre bridged the deficit gap with regard to calories and more than 50% of proteins in the preschool children of both food models when compared with home diet. Except anemia and skin infections, significantly lower (p<0.05) prevalence of all symptoms of nutritional deficiencies and morbidities were observed in A.P.F.M children as compared to L.F.M children. The A.P Foods had better impact on the nutritional status of the preschool children as evinced by better acceptability, significantly higher anthropometric indices (as measured by height, weight and mid upper arm circumference), better food and nutrient intake and adequacies in comparison with RDA, lower incidence of nutritional deficiency symptoms and morbidities when compared with local food model. Nevertheless, there is a need for improvement of diet in terms of foods and nutrients to meet 1/3 rd requirement of RDA. The attentiveness to be given in meeting the vitamins and minerals requirements for preventing the deficiency problems and to promote health in the children. Keywords: Nutritional status, preschool children, A.P. food model, local food model Introduction Nutrition of the child is of paramount importance because the foundation for lifetime health, strength and intellectual vitality is laid down during this period (Devadas, 1987) [4]. India is home to the largest population with around 1.21 billion constituting 13.12% of children population, who are below the age of 6 years (Censes, 2011). A significant proportion of these children live in low/poor economic and social environment, which predisposes them to poor nutrition and impedes their physical and mental development. (ICDS, 2010) [10]. In the 21 st century of miraculous advances in science and technology, the world is busy in devising methods to combat malnutrition, which continues to affect children in significantly large numbers. According to the records of children in India 2012, a statistical appraisal by the Union ministry of statistics and programme implementation, acute malnutrition, as evidenced by wasting, results in a child being too thin for his / her height. While 19.8% of children, under five years of age, are wasted in the country, which indicates that one out of every five children in India is wasted, 43% of children fewer than five years of age are underweight for their age. Describing malnutrition as India's silent emergency, the World Bank report ( ) says that the rate of malnutrition cases among children in India is almost five times more than in China, and twice than in Sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly half of India's children approximately 60 million are underweight, 45% have stunted growth (too short for their age), 20% are wasted (too thin for their height, indicating acute malnutrition), 75% are anaemic, and 57% are deficient in Vitamin A (Vijay Raghavan, 1998) [23]. To overcome the malnutrition problem in eight selected states, a World Bank aided 'ICDS Systems Strengthening and Nutrition Improvement Project (ISSNIP)' has been approved made effective from November 26, ICDS is a major national intervention programme initiated in 1975 by the Government of India with primary emphasis on Supplementary Nutrition Program. It provides the nutritional safety net for the vulnerable and poorest of the poor, even in the remote areas because of its nationwide coverage. The Supplementary Nutrition Program (SNP) is one of the six components of the ICDS scheme of the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MOWCDC. While its purposes have become broader and more complex over time, the main ~ 487 ~
2 objective of the SNP is to reduce malnutrition in India s children (Ahmed et al, 2006) [1]. ICDS is the only GOI nutrition program whose coverage extends from infants and children below six, to pregnant and lactating women to improve the quality of their performance in future. Its importance as an instrument to secure children's right to food cannot be overstated (National Policy for Children, GOI, 1991) [17]. Telangana Foods (formerly A.P. Foods) is a Govt. of Andhra Pradesh enterprise established in 1974 and functioning under the auspices of A.P. Nutrition Council, Chaired by Chief Secretary to Government, and Executive committee chaired by Principal Secretary Women s Development and Child Welfare, WD& CW, a society which was set up in the year 1976 with the assistance of CARE, UNICEF and GOI for producing and supplying nutritious food to malnourished preschool and school going children, pregnant and lactating mothers (UNICEF, 1990) [21]. The main activity of M/s. AP Foods is manufacturing and supplying fortified nutritious food to 224 ICDS projects benefiting of children and women beneficiaries throughout the state of Andhra Pradesh. In several ICDS projects, a local food model has been initiated ( ) and the ration (raw ingredients i.e. rice, wheat rawa green gram, oil and seasonings) are supplied by the project directors through the district purchasing committee, which is cooked and served in the AWC by the helper. World Bank researchers, using data from the National Family Health Surveys (NFHS) in 1992/93 and 1998/99 (including anthropometric measures), found little evidence that the ICDS program had an impact on child nutritional status (Gellespie, 2001) [5]. However, there are no comparative studies on acceptability, health and nutritional status of beneficiaries receiving food supplied by AP Food and local food models. Hence, the present study was planned with the objective to compare the nutritional status of preschool children attending Anganwadi centers and consuming nutritious food supplied by AP Foods with that of preschool children covered under an alternative model (the local food model ) in the state of united A.P., India. Materials and Methods The present study was planned to evaluate and compare the acceptability, nutritional status (anthropometry, clinical, morbidity and dietary) and nutrient adequacy of preschool children who are attending ICDS centers and consuming nutritious food supplied by AP Foods in comparison with the local food model in the state of united A.P., India. The study was conducted as a one-time cross sectional, community based study carried out in three regions of Telangana, Andhra and Rayalaseema of Andhra Pradesh states, India by adopting cluster random sampling procedure. A list of Anganwadi centers covered by Women Welfare and Child Development department, in urban as well as rural areas for both food models was obtained from the Directorate, Department of women development and child welfare, Yusufguda, Hyderabad. One district from each of the three regions was selected randomly where both AP food model as well as local food model is existed. The districts selected were Ranga Reddy from Telangana region, Krishna from Andhra region and Chittor from Rayalaseema region. The following flow chart (Fig 1) shows the experimental design of the study at region, district and anganwadi centers. From each district 20 Anganwadi centers located in urban (6) and rural (14) areas were selected where both AP food model as well as local food model is available and children are regularly participating ( 75% of feeding days/month) in the supplementary feeding programme. Structured schedules were developed specifically to elicit information on nutritional anthropometry, clinical, morbidity, dietary from preschool children and acceptability of supplementary foods. Pretesting of the developed schedules was done at four anganwadi centers covering both the food models at Rangareddy district. Assessment of nutritional status was done in preschool Children (3-6years). The parameters covered for the Fig 1: Experimental design of the study ~ 488 ~ assessment of nutritional status of preschool children were age, anthropometry (height, weight and mid upper arm circumference), clinical signs and symptoms, morbidity pattern, dietary assessment (Jelliffe 1966, Gopalan et al 2010, Thimmayamma 2009 and UNICEF 1980) [11, 6, 20]. The preschool children graded according to under nutrition, stunning and wasting using standard deviation classification (WHO 1989) [24] as given below.
3 SD Classification Weight for age Height for age Weight for height Median Normal Normal Normal <Median to Median 1SD <Median 1SD to Median±2SD <Median 2SD to Median 3SD Moderate Under weight Moderate stunting Moderate wasting < Median 3 SD Severe Under weight Severe stunting Severe wasting Information on morbidity of the individual preschool child such as diarrhea, URI, vomiting, fever, ear infection, eye infection, skin infection etc during the preceding 15 days was collected. Statistical Analysis The data was compiled and was analyzed statistically by one way ANOVA using Microsoft Excel Package for acceptability of supplementary foods, anthropometric assessment, clinical, morbidity and food and nutrient intake data as per procedures laid down by Snedecor and Cochran. Results and discussion Acceptability of Supplementary Foods The anganwadi centers feeding the children with recipes like sweet porridge, halwa and kitchdi, boiled egg under A.P. food model and boiled egg, rice kitchdi, wheat rawa upma under local food model. The acceptability of supplementary foods indicated that majority of the beneficiaries are satisfied with the foods provided both in A.P.F.M and L.F.M. Kitchidi is the highly accepted recipe in both food models (A.P.F.M., 57.7% and L.F.M., 55.6%) followed by halwa (53.4%) and sweet porridge (52.9%) in A.P.F.M and rice (55.6%) and wheat rawa upma (50.4%) in L.F.M. However, the preschool children (Fig 2) of both the food models accepted very much the eggs compared to other recipes. Fig 2: Percentage distribution of preschool children by acceptability of supplementary foods Food intake The average daily intake of foods by the preschool children of both the food models is given in Tables 1 to 2. Cereals & millets (A.P.F.M, 103.3% and L.F.M 102.0%) were form the bulk of the diet of the children followed by pulses (A.P.F.M, 87.5% and L.F.M 77.5%), fats and oils (A.P.F.M, 59% and L.F.M 57.6%), milk and milk products (A.P.F.M, 28% and L.F.M 20.2%) and sugar & jaggery (A.P.F.M, 16% and L.F.M 12.4) in both the food models surveyed. The RDI for cereals and pulses was only met and for the remaining foods was not found in both models. None of the food models is providing the vegetables, green leafy, roots & tubers, fruits and flesh foods in anganwadi centres and was only found at home based daily foods in insufficient quantities compared to RDI. The inclusive of milk and milk products were found both at home and anganwadi centres foods. However the quantity did not met the RDI level. Even fats & oils and sugars & jaggery were also not meeting the RDA levels at home and anganwadi centres of both food models. The present findings are in comparable with NNMB (2001) data in which it was reported that intake of all the food stuffs in 4-6 years age group children was below the RDA.. However, the improved food intake through the meal provided at anganwadi center by ICDS had bridged the deficit gap to a greater extent in case of calories and more than 30-40% in case of pulses. Yet, the quantity of inclusive of pulses, milk and milk products and sugar and jaggery was found higher in A.P.F.M. foods than in L.F.M foods where as cereals and millets in L.F.M foods than A.P.F.M. foods. ~ 489 ~

The mean intake of all the nutrients through home diet in children of both the food models was below the RDA except protein and energy. The intake of protein and energy by the preschool children of both the food models through their home diet was more than 80.0% (A.P.F.M:96.5%, 85.6% and L.F.M:93.5%, 87.3%) which was meeting the RDA without supplementary food provided at AWCs. As in the case of other nutrients, the extent of deficit was higher with respect to vitamin A (A.P.F.M75%, L.F.M:70.2), vitamin C (A.P.F.M:69.3%, L.F.M:61.3%) and iron (A.P.F.M 27.7%, L.F.M:25.7%) and thiamine (A.P.F.M 38.5%, L.F.M:54.4%) in both models. Foods provided at AWCs revealed that the mean intake of calcium, iron, thiamin and riboflavin was high in A.P.F.M children as compared to L.F.M children with respect to 1/3 RDA provided by one meal. Similarly, the intake of fat was found to be adequate with inclusion of supplementary foods. Vitamin A intakes was found lower in LFM (6.2%) compared with APFM (17.4%) Table 3: Mean nutrient intake (per day) of preschool children (n=75 for each food model) Nutrient RDA 1/3 RDA APFM LFM Protein (g) ± ± Total Fat (g) ± ± Energy (K.Cal) ± ± Calcium (mg) ± ± Iron (mg) ± ± Vitamin-A (µg) ± ± Thiamin (mg) ± ± Riboflavin (mg) ± ± Vitamin-C (mg) ± ± Table 4: Percent nutrient adequacy (per day) of preschool children (n=75 for each food model) Nutrient APFM LFM % surplus/ deficit % surplus/ deficit Energy (K.Cal) Protein (g) Total Fat (g) Calcium (mg) Iron (mg) Vitamin-A (µg) Thiamine (mg) Riboflavin (mg) Vitamin-C (mg) ~ 490 ~
5 Nutritional Deficiency Signs From the table 5 it was observed that out of 750 children in each food model about 7.8% of A.P.F.M children and 9.2% of L.F.M children had one or more clinical signs of nutritional deficiency symptoms. While none of the children were observed with clinical symptoms of kwashiorkor and marasmus. The percentages of children s with nutritional deficiencies were found to be significantly higher at 5% (p<0.05) in anganwadis with local food model than with AP food model. The prevalence of Bitot spots, an objective sign of vitamin A deficiency, was found to be about 1.0% in A.P.F.M children and 1.6% in L.F.M children. Prevalence of conjunctival xerosis in A.P.F.M children was 0.8% and L.F.M children were 1.2%. About 2.0% of A.P.F.M and 2.4% L.F.M children had angular stomatitis, indicative of B-complex deficiency. It was also observed that the prevalence of anemia in A.P.F.M children (2.0%) was high as compared to L.F.M children (1.0%). It is well recognized that in the communities subsisting on cereal- pulse based plant foods, iron bioavailability is poor due to several interfering substances (NNMB, 2002). Dental fluorosis was also observed in the children of both the food models (A.P.F.M:2.0% and L.F.M:3.0%). Findings in the present study are in comparable with the NNMB (2002) reported values of prevalence of Bitot spots, an objective sign of vitamin A deficiency, was found to be about 0.8%. Vedhavalli and Usha (2005) [22] conducted a study in Tamil Nadu on the nutritional status and prevalence of Vitamin A deficiency among 1 to 6 years children. According to the study, the prevalence of malnutrition was 88.2% and Vitamin A Deficiency was 5.2%. Table 5: Prevalence (%) of Nutritional Deficiency Signs in preschool children (n=750) Nutritional deficiency signs APFM (n=750) LFM (n=750) Normal Children 692 (92.2) 681 (90.8) Children identified with nutritional deficiency signs 58 (7.8) 69 (9.2) Conjunctival Xerosis (XIA) 6 (0.8) 9 (1.2) Bitot Spots (XIB) 7 (1.0) 12 (1.6) Angular Stomatitis 15 (2.0) 18 (2.4) Paleness of eye lids / tongue (anemia) 15 (2.0) 8 (1.0) Dental - Fluorosis 15 (2.0) 22 (3.0) S.E.d C.D(0.05) 0.127* Significant at 5% (p<0.05) (Figures in parenthesis indicate percentages) Morbidity History of morbidity of children in both food models during the previous fortnight was elicited from the mothers. As compared to A.P.F.M children (10%) L.F.M children (12.5%) showed significantly higher (p<0.05) prevalence of morbidity (Table 6). The morbidities viz. fever, diarrhea, respiratory infections, vomiting, fever, ear infection and skin infection during the preceding 15 days were prevailed in the children of both the food models According to the Lancet Series on maternal and child nutrition report (2013), malnutrition is now responsible for around 3 1 million (45%) deaths in children under five annually. Each year, malnutrition is implicated in about 40% of the 11 million deaths of under five children in developing countries (WHO 2005) [25]. Table 6: Prevalence (%) of Morbidities (Previous fortnight) in Preschool children Illness APFM (n=750) LFM (n=750) Children without complain of morbidities 675 (90) 656 (87.5) Children identified with various morbidities 75 (10) 94 (12.5) Diarrhoea 9 (1.2) 12 (1.6) URI 6 (0.8) 9 (1.2) Vomitings 11 (1.5) 14 (1.9) Fever 35 (4.7) 38 (5.1) Ear Infection 3 (0.4) 7 (0.9) Skin infection 11 (1.5) 14 (1.9) S.E.d C.D(0.05) 1.982* *Significant at 5% (Figures in parenthesis indicate percentages) Nutritional status of children by Anthropometry Height, Weight and Mid Upper Arm Circumference Measurement of weight, height and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) are commonly recognized as important indices of nutritional status of pre school children. Height is primarily a reflection of cumulative or past nutritional status, whereas, other measures refer more to current or transitory nutritional status. Weight for Age Prevalence of malnutrition was assessed using SD classification and is presented in Fig 3. The figure indicated that the percentage of children in normal grade was high (88.0%) among A.P.F.M children which was significant (p<0.05) as compared to L.F.M children (80.0%). The remaining children were found to fall in various grades of under nutrition i.e. moderate (< Median 2 SD) and severe (<Median 3SD) which is 5% and 7% in A.P.F.M children and 15% and 5% in L.F.M children respectively. A study was conducted by Meshram et al. (2012) [13] among 14,587 children, 0-5 years in Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) Areas in nine States of India (Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal) reported that the overall prevalence of underweight was about 49%, of which 19% were severely underweight. ~ 491 ~
6 Mid upper arm circumference The preschool children were distributed according to mid upper arm circumference by Standard deviation classification and the results are depicted Fig 6. It indicates that the percentage of children in normal grades was high (92.0%) among A.P.F.M children which is significant (p<0.05) as compared to L.F.M children (90.0%). The remaining children were found to fall in various grades of wasting i.e moderate energy malnutrition (< Median 2 SD) and severe malnutrition (<Median 3SD) which is 6% and 7% in A.P.F.M children and 2% and 3% in L.F.M children. Fig 3: Preschool children (%) according to weight for age by SD classification using WHO standards Height for Age The extent of stunting was assessed using height for age and is presented in Fig 4. Both A.P.F.M and L.F.M children showed almost similar percentage value for normal grades, moderate stunting and severe stunning and found to be not significant. Fig 6: Distribution (%) of Preschool children according to MUAC by SD Classification Krishna et al (2001) [12] conducted the study among 480 preschool children of urban and rural areas of Jabalpur. It was observed that the prevalence of malnutrition was 64.17% in the rural areas and 40.0% in urban areas in children 1 to 5 years based on mid arm circumference which are higher to this findings. Fig 4: Distribution (%) of Preschool Children according to height for age by SD classification using WHO standards Weight for Height Prevalence of wasting was assessed using SD classification and results are shown in Fig 5. The percentage of children in normal grades, which was high (90.0%) among A.P.F.M children and was significant (p<0.05) as compared to L.F.M children (81.0%). The remaining children were found to fall in various grades of wasting i.e moderate wasting (< Median 2 SD) and severe wasting (<Median 3SD) which is 7% and 3% in A.P.F.M children and 15% and 4% in L.F.M children. Conclusion From the study it can be concluded that the A.P Food model had better impact on the nutritional status of the preschool children as evinced by better acceptability, significantly higher anthropometric indices (as measured by height, weight and mid upper arm circumference), better food and nutrient intake and adequacies in comparison with RDAs, lower incidence of nutritional deficiency symptoms and morbidities and non-significant differences in the mean values of hemoglobin and blood vitamin A levels when compared with local Food model. Nevertheless, there is a need for improvement of diet in terms of foods and nutrients to meet 1/3 rd requirement of RDA. The attentiveness to be given in meeting the vitamins and minerals requirements for preventing the deficiency problems and to promote health in the children.
